Retaliation & Termination

Albuquerque NM Retaliation Attorney  

Stopping Workplace Retaliation and Wrongful Termination

Albuquerque's employee rights attorney, Grieta Gilchrist

Employers can also violate an employee's rights by retaliating against the employee when the employee engages in a protected act. There are many definitions for protected acts. For example, an employee engages in a protected act when the employee reports employers, supervisors or co-workers who are engaging in unlawful discrimination. Employees who must take family medical leave or worker's compensation leave are engaging in a protected act. The law protects those who engage in protected act and then are retaliated against for taking the protected act.

To find out about the legal ramifications of retaliation or wrongful termination in your situation, contact me at 505-908-3921 or toll-free at 888-504-5086. Schedule a free, confidential consultation.


Workplace retaliation can take many forms

  • Wrongful termination: If you've been fired after reporting co-worker, supervisor or employer misconduct, illegal activities or workplace discrimination or harassment or for taking family medical leave or worker's compensation.
  • Demotions: After blowing the whistle on illegal activities, or speaking up about workplace misconduct, you are demoted; often after a series of groundless write-ups and reprimands
  • Being passed over for a promotion: Less qualified people are promoted ahead of you after you report workplace misconduct, including discrimination or harassment based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability or pregnancy

At my law firm, I represent clients in civil rights matters arising at the workplace, including the creation of a hostile work environment, disparate treatment, disparate impact and more.

I also represent clients in whistleblower litigation, as well as those who want to, or are planning to report a co-worker, supervisor or employer for misconduct.

Call me, employee rights lawyer, Grieta Gilchrist, to schedule a free, confidential consultation on your workplace concerns, including retaliation and wrongful termination. You can also contact me by e-mail.
